Divisions

In the heart of East Westphalia-Lippe, one of Germany's strongest regions for mechanical engineering and industrial electronics, we work on innovative solutions in the field of intelligent automation. Our aim is to provide our partners in automation technology and mechanical and plant engineering as well as manufacturing companies with competitive advantages through directly applicable technologies and processes.

In addition, the city of the future is the second field of application: we also support cities, administrations and local authorities along the entire digital value chain, from sensors and infrastructure to intelligent interfaces with people. With our commitment to smart cities, we develop sustainable, data-driven solutions for a liveable, connected and efficient urban environment. From intelligent traffic and energy management systems to digital citizen services and IoT-supported city infrastructures, we are shaping the future of urban spaces together with our partners - in an innovative, resource-saving and citizen-oriented way.
